Ok good to know.

Also the ju is like you describe a parameter playing synth. Though I would like the sliders to break in a little, sometimes they can be a little stiff when you are playing with both hands and using one finger to nudge as well. Also might want end caps, the ends are a little pointy. 

Using the filter self osc kbd tracking with delay and fast lfo just hitting that audio range makes this a great alien space machine.

Have I just not heard the right stuff? Or is it possible I don't like the sound of one of the most famous synths?

For me, its the playability of the user interface, mostly, which makes the synth so appealing - I can’t resist tweaking the hell out of it while playing, and I think - whatever the engine - this fact makes a huge difference to adoption/cult-status. Also, there’s that whole ‘analog/digital’ thing.  In that era, at that time, it was: DX7, or Jupiter-8. This path is still divergent, even today.
